Auction Grade: B+
The auction was saved by the international demand which was well above the 6-month average. The domestic demand was not great at 15.6% (vs 21.1%).
The bid cover was strong at 2.90 times. The tail was also indicative of aggressive demand from international buyers. The grade would've been higher if domestic demand was higher but it was pretty disappointing.
The last auction sold at a high yield of 3.969% with a tale of +0.3 basis points and a bid to cover near the 6-month average of 2.68X
